I love your philosophy about turning ugly ducklings into swans & saving them from the landfill. AND, you do SUCH beautiful work!! This was a very inspiring video. Thank you!
I know you might never see this comment since it’s a year old video, but had to say I so appreciate your genuine gentle, and loving spirit. It comes through in all you do. The appreciation of all the goodness of already created furniture, manufactured or hand made, is so wonderful. Your work is knowledgeable and artistic. Thank you for showing all your learned tips even like putting painted furniture feet on the clips!! Genius. I’m new to flipping and use it as my creative outlet for relaxing after much time spent in pastoral counseling and caring for others needing repair and refurbishing , so similar 😉 My favorite line this time is “Frankenstein-wood” haha
You know, I've watched a LOT of youtubers revamping icky furniture. While some are absolutely gorgeous, they are impractical for the novice. You do beautiful work that I feel I can almost pull off! You make smart decisions that are practical and not so time consuming. Also, you're a January baby so I can't help myself.
@@purplegreen5436 My parents bedroom set was exactly like this solid wood with laminate walnut finish piece. We had to let them go when Mom inherited her Mother's furniture. I hated to part with the solid wood 1960's style furniture.
I have never seen anyone put so much care and detail in fixing an old peice of furniture that would have ended up in the dump. What a hard worker! Good job!
Bought a table from Ikea in a beautiful dark, almost black finish and the kids have ruined it with their science projects, dinging, scratching, rubbing the finish off. I thought I would have to throw it out and buy another but I’m going to use a sander and strip off the top and apply a dark stain and put a protective coating on it. Thank you for the inspo! I feel like furniture we threw out could have been saved if we gave it just a little bit if extra TLC. Hopefully I can save a couple things we have now because I really didn’t and don’t want to be someone that just throws stuff away. Tysm!
Dear It is an awesome job. I started a business restoring old furniture that was yearsvback and I stopped. Now, I think I am going back to that job. Thanks to people like you.
Love that you are trying to keep furniture out of landfill! I’ve refurbished an entire 3-bed house will all second hand furniture that I’ve up cycled. Mirrors, beds, wardrobes, tables. It’s been so satisfying to take something that would have ended up in landfill and give it a new life. Love your colour choice on these pieces ❤️
Oh YESSSSS! I finally found the perfect inspiration for my 9-drawer dresser makeover! I couldn't figure out the color scheme for it, to make it look like it 'fits' with my seafoam night tables + my fully black standalone closet-dresser. Boom! There it is! So happyyy!
I love the tones you picked out. It looks great. My little boy and I did the same to an old dresser that's been in our family since the 60's. It was falling apart and looked so ugly. So we moved it into the backyard and started sanding, did some repairs and then stained and sprayed it with a semi gloss clear. Looks brand new. And my little boy is so proud of himself because now it's in his bedroom. It was so much fun working with him and making a special memory like that with him. He was only 6 at the time but working with tools made him feel like a big boy. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I love the sacred sage color with the white washed drawers and black hardware! You've converted me to liking MCM furniture, whether painted or stained, because yo somehow make each piece better than when it was new!! ☺️💖👍😉
The hardware is what makes that piece! It’s so unique, and it really pops with your color scheme! And I love that you flipped the hardware upside down!
You have such a wonderful taste in colors, in textures, moreover in caring for these condemned pieces and seeing the potencial they have. Thank you for going the extra mile.
I think these are beautiful. I love how you carefully & lovingly address every need of each piece, no matter large or small. Admirable. This is one of the things that sets you apart as a craftsman from others. You should be proud. I know I am!
Love how you totally transform these pieces. Never would have thought it was the same piece. You turned an old, damaged, outdated piece and turned it into a new modern piece. Congrats again. Learning so much. Just finished refinishing an old nightstand using some of your techniques. Came out great.
We bought a small three drawer dresser with a mirror exactly like this piece, in about 1970, for our toddler daughter's room. It had the same finish and legs but wooden handles, and you're right, it was very solidly made, all wood and lasted. Still in good shape when I gave it to a family member several years ago. 😊 I love to see sturdy but rather grungy things remade like this, thumbs up. 👍
Thanks for sharing your “Frankin-wood” repair. I’m amazed you were able to repair that! I will keep that knowledge in mind as repairs like that would have made me say no thanks to a piece prior to seeing this. Lovely furniture rescue!
Dude! After you painted those drawer pulls I was completely in love with them! The design is SO unique to me! And, of course, the rest of the piece is absolutely stunning! Great job Angie! (To put it mildly😂)
I love watching you turn old and ugly into new and beautiful. Great repair job. So glad you fix instead of it going to the landfill. Great job on this!!! Thanks for sharing.
You did such a detailed job on fixing the splintered wood and I always learn so much from you. Glad you kept the drawer pulls - they are unique, and look good in black. I had a dresser like this when I was a kid, and it looked so cheap, even then, but you transformed it so well!
Agree. Angie is so very humble and keeps it REAL, encourages we use tools within our budget. She demonstrates doing the most with whatever you've got. Watching her videos feels like you're beside her, figuring out the process as she goes along. And that figure-it-outiveness is what it is actually like once you get into a furniture project. Most of us don't have a pop-up paint tent, compressor, sprayer, surf-prep sander...
Again, your attention to detail is a joy to watch. The transformation was amazing. I still don't know how you can look at the "before" and imagine what the final outcome could possibly be. Love the Sacred Sage on this piece, such a beautiful color!
The top of the taller dresser almost looks like its smiling from the love you have shown it while giving it a new and beautiful life. Thank you for sharing your work with us once again, you have truly inspired me to look closer at the laminate pieces along the roads I have been driving past.
You definitely turned that ugly duckling to a beautiful piece. Makes me more willing to try working with laminate now. The colors combined with the black hardware totally completed it!! It's also great getting to see your process of repairs as well since I'm somewhat of a beginner. You put out great work ❣️
Thanks for the encouragement to attempt rescuing a Laminate dresser. Haven’t gone there yet! I will be on the look out for a cheap laminate piece now that I’ve seen what you’ve done with your dresser!
Really impressive how you were able to repair that fractured piece of wood underneath. I've got a laminate dresser from the 60s that is in better shape than this one. Now I've got an idea of how it could be painted and refreshed. I like the warm white wash you did on the drawer fronts.
Something weirdly satisfying about watching the heated wood glue. Awesome change from what it used to be. I really think it looks way better than it did before ❤
Wood as we know is a great carbon sequesterer. Saving furniture ensures that the carbon stays locked. Not only saving from landfill, but helping fight climate change 🙏❤️
You always amaze me with the possibilities of ways to bring "the dead" back to life !!🤔 You never forget about the ones like myself that are just beginning, and those that are experienced, and you give us priceless information, tricks of trade, that save us time and money....Also it saves another from the dumpster! ❤️😁
Sweet!!! I wasn’t aware that you had two pieces. Sweet they both look fabulous. I love the name of your channel. It truly describes what you do with his furniture. Please stay safe and God bless you and yours.♥️🌹🇺🇸
That turned out beautiful!! I'm so glad to hear you are saving furniture from the dump. Not only are you saving the Earth but also our trees and land. The two dump sites I have seen are mountains!! I was blown away at how much humans waste and how much land it takes to hold all the waste.
Plus how many more natural resources have to be used to replace what they've just thrown away... It's a vicious cycle that need to be broken, wherever we can. Thank you so much for watching!
Very nice and those drawer handles are very nice now that they are matte black. Thanks for encouraging people to reuse their furniture instead of buying new👍🏻👍🏻
You are sooooo talented. But when I watch your videos and see how much furniture-crafting and woodmaking skill you have, I’m too intimidated to try my hand at all this!
I have to say that of all the people who do this sort of stuff on You Tube- you are the most watchable and competent. Your attention to detail is brilliant and you paint fastidiously and professionally. Keep em coming kiddo. Also- you seem to have real taste when it comes to colors etc.
Awesome! Absolutely Brilliant work, saving something old and making it look young and vibrant. Also saving the landfills. This type of restoration is what is needed to save our landfills and saving trees that have been have been sacrificed to make this furniture.
Good job, repairing that broken stud. The soft color scheme is well balanced and the elegant handles give it a nice finishing touch. Impressive result.
I too hate to see things go to the landfills! You have a true talent and lots of fans! Stunning transformation!!!!! Great video with each step explained and documented perfectly!!
Awesome! Very few people would have taken the time to fix the damage. That's what sets you apart from the rest. Excellent intro. Thanks for sharing. Barry, Mad City Modern (Madison, Wisconsin, USA)
I recently moved my mom in with me and she has several rooms with all-wood and partial laminate pieces that have potential. I haven’t done woodworking since high school, but I’m ready. Your shared expertise and style have inspired me to rework them. Thanks from MA, USA.
Love your work, especially that you uncover that wood grain and enhance it. You might consider finishing the back of possible so pieces could be room divider/island. Thanks for salvaging what might end up in landfill.
Amazing!! I've just found your channel & am binging😊. I've got mad respect for what care you take with repairs and that you try and save pieces others consider worthless!!
Love the color combo on this its so fresh and airy looking now😊😊. And those drawer pulls are beautiful in the matte black, you can really see their uniqueness ❤❤

Colour combination's simply great. The wood damage at the bottom was daunting but you pulled it off!
Kudos!
Yes I wasn’t sure how the bottom would pan out but it’s super strong now! Lol
You truly have me look at furniture, especially those old, looking really bad shape differently. It turned out brilliantly
I mean Wow. What else is there to say. Those are absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much Liz!
The hardware is what makes that piece! It’s so unique, and it really pops with your color scheme! And I love that you flipped the hardware upside down!
Yeah, to me it just looks better this way! Almost like it was supposed to be this way all along (flipped upside down)!
